Injury Report: 2020 Injuries & Positive COVID-19 Tests Thread

[Swervin81]

The MLB knew that this would happen. It's the reason we get taxi squads and a deep-ass player pool. They knew we'd get lots of cases and entire teams getting ravaged by it - their whole plan was to just push through it.

Lets face it, the train has left the station and the only thing stopping it is someone dying.

It seems like there's 1 less positive case.

someone could die and not be a player/coach. Some hotel staffer if probably going to get it, if they haven’t already, and likely take it home unless they too are staying at the hotel

The Marlins also played the Braves last week, who started the season keeping out their top 2 catchers because of symptoms although they tested negative.

Freddie Freeman had a rough go with the virus. Can only imagine what he's thinking right now.

Here we go....Baseball doesn't have a clue...NFL not far behind...Can't see this continuing.

season continuing may rest of the Phillies Covid tests.

 

[Voight]

Was hoping Verlander would be out for the season. Some sweet justice.

Getting closer to this outcome. Sox pitcher with Covid viral myocarditis.

So if the 12 Marlins players have to quarantine at least 2 weeks, does Miami keep calling up players from the minors to fill the roster? (Once they have a game that isn't postponed)

Yeah, there are no minors in 2020 though, every team has a group of taxi squad players at an ''alternate training site''.

Hopefully a few false positives

 

[Muston Atthews]

That should be it for the Marlins for the season if they knowingly played with positive COVID cases.

At the very least they forfeit the next “x” amount of games for quarantine purposes

 

[MMC]

Don't they just have to have 2 negative tests and be asymptomatic?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Not all of them are asymptomatic and it is 2 negative tests atleast 24 hours apart.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Well, that commercial sure aged well.

There is no proof that is how he developed the condition. They’ve said it’s possible he had it for years and it went undiagnosed. That condition also develops most often around his age. Onset is usually between 25-40

I know but I've seen a lot of people say they would have to quarantine for 2 weeks.

My office deals with flying teams. We were on a call at 11am and told it sounds like the plan for now is to chug along and see how the Phils/Nats/Braves/Mets who had contact off the Marlins fare the next few days. If it outbreaks across more teams they’re going to shut it down for 2 weeks and resume in an NHL NBA setup and likely move fall games into domed parks

and then you're going to have to find another spot for Toronto

i mean everyone is moving at that point so it’s the same for all teams.

It kind of all feels like a waste of time. Even if they get through this with only one team really getting hit by it....what are the chances this is the last time it runs through a team like this in the next 2-3 months? It takes one player or staff member to go to the grocery store and contract it and all of a sudden the entire team has it.

not really, because the same issues can crop up whether it's a domed or bubble scenario....

Your risk at a grocery store is low. It sounds as if Urena was out at a club or something and several other guys might or might not have been with him. This smelled of being a result of players doing something dumb from the start

Right but you can pick it up from a grocery store. My point was more so that the people involved could be doing normal things and trying to be reasonable and the entire thing could still blow up...now add in the likelihood of people just not giving a shit(going to a club) and the chances of actually completing this as it is, is non existent.
